Big fine for Little Darlings men's club

A Bourbon Street men's club will pay what may be the steepest fine of its kind in New Orleans history to stay in business, the WDSU I-Team has learned.

Little Darlings will pay a penalty of $62,500 and has agreed to install more than 30 security cameras as part of an agreement with city regulators. The club will also begin using an electronic wand to screen patrons, sources said

Earlier this year, the City alleged that prostitution and loitering were allowed to take place at the adult entertainment venue, which is marked by its familiar neon street sign. Additional accusations focused on the possession of firearms by customers visiting the club.

Little Darlings is located in the 400 block of Bourbon Street, between Conti and St. Louis streets.

Coaches were more vocal and aggressive with players as training camp pushes ahead full steam. Players clashed with one another in several hard hits and tackles, indicating that ferocity was the name of the game.
